MEMBERS  NOT  ALUMNI  OF   THE  COLLEGE 


The  list  is  arranged  according  to  the  year  of  election  to  mem- 
bership. George  Edmond  Pierce,  President  of  the  College,  and 
Professors  Barrows,  Day,  Nooney,  Seymour  and  St.  John  consti- 
tuted the  original  committee  of  organization  to  which  the  charter 
was  granted.  All  were  members  of  the  Yale  Chapter,  the  Alpha  of 
Connecticut.  Professors  Bartlett  and  Long,  whose  names  come 
next  in  order,  also  assisted  in  the  organizaton  of  the  chapter.  It 
will  be  seen  that  the  members  mentioned  in  the  list  were  for  the 
most  part  elected  in  the  early  years  of  the  chapter's  history.  In  the 
records  the  term  "honorary  member"  is  not  applied  to  them,  except 
to  a  small  number  of  those  last  elected.  They  frequently  held 
office,  and  a  few  of  them  who  were  connected  with  the  college  in 
positions  lower  than  that  of  professor,f  were  expected  to  perform 
all  the  duties  of  regular  members.  Most  of  them  were  already 
members  of  other  Alphas  at  the  time  of  their  election.  Owing  to 
defects  in  the  records,  the  list  is  probably  not  quite  complete,  nor 
can  the  full  names  be  learned  in  all  cases.

CHARTER,  CONSTITUTION.  AND  LAWS 

—OF  THE— 

ALPHA  OF  OHIO  CHAPTER 
PHI  BETA  KAPPA 


CHARTER 

The  Phi  Beta  Kappa  Fraternity  was  founded  at  William  and 
Mary  College  on  December  5th,  1776.  Since  that  time  eighty-five 
chapters  have  been  established  in  other  colleges.*  In  each  state 
the  first  chapter  to  be  established  is  called  the  Alpha  chapter  of  that 
state,  the  second  the  Beta,  the  third  the  Gamma,  etc.,  according  to 
the  order  of  their  formation.  The  chapter  of  Western  Reserve 
College,  now  Adelbert  College  of  Western  Reserve  University,  was 
thus  the  seventh  Alpha  organized  after  the  formation  of  the  parent 
chapter.  Its  organization  was  authorized  by  the  following  charter, 
granted  in  1847  by  the  Alpha  of  Connecticut: 

"Whereas  the  society  of  ^  B  K  by  selecting-  the  best  and  most 
promising  scholars  of  good  moral  character  in  the  principal  col- 
leges, and  uniting  them  in  one  great  fraternity  of  scientific  and 
literary  men,  has  been  found  not  only  profitable  to  the  members  of 
said  society,  but  also  conducive  to  the  advancement  of  sound  learn- 
ing in  our  country;  and  whereas  the  President  and  Professors  of 
the  Western  Reserve  College  at  Hudson,  in  the  state  of  Ohio,  being 
desirous  to  secure  to  that  college  the  great  advantage  of  this  insti- 
tution, did,  on  the  second  day  of  December,  1841,  prefer  a  petition 
to  the  Alpha  of  Connecticut,  that  a  branch  of  this  society  might  be 
established  in  the  said  Western  Reserve  College,  and  thereupon  the 
Alpha  of  Connecticut  instituted  careful  inquiry  into  the  character 
and  prospects  of  that  college,  and  after  mature  deliberation  did,  at

their  general  meeting,  on  the  18th  day  of  August,  1842,  assent  to 
the  above  mentioned  request,  provided  the  approbation  and  consent 
of  the  other  Alphas  should  first  be  obtained;  and  whereas  the  Alpha 
of  Connecticut  on  learning  that  such  consent  and  approbation  had 
been  obtained  from  each  and  all  the  other  Alphas,  did,  at  their 
general  meeting  on  the  day  before  the  Commencement  at  Yale 
College,  A.  D.,  1847,  invest  us  the  undersigned  with  authority  to 
give  and  convey  to  the  said  petitioners,  being  members  of  this 
Alpha,  the  requisite  power  and  authority  to  create  and  organize  a 
distinct  branch  of  the  <I>  B  K  in  said  Western  Reserve  College, 
under  the  name  and  title  of  the  Alpha  of  Ohio. 

Now  therefore,  know  all  men  by  these  presents,  that  our 
trusty  and  beloved  brothers  George  E.  Pierce  S.  T.  D.,  President 
of  the  Western  Reserve  College,  and  his  associates.  Professors  in 
the  said  college,  Elijah  P.  Barrows,  A.  M.,  Henry  N.  Day,  A.  M., 
Samuel  St.  John,  A.  M.,  Nathan  P.  Seymour,  A.  M.,  and  James 
Nooney,  A.  M.,  or  the  major  part  of  them,  have  and  possess  full 
power  to  create  and  organize  a  branch  of  the  society  of  $  B  K  in 
the  Western  Reserve  College  at  Hudson,  in  the  State  of  Ohio, 
which  branch  of  said  society  shall  be  known  by  the  name  and  style 
of  the  Alpha  of  Ohio,  and  shall  possess  and  enjoy  the  power,  privi- 
leges and  prerogatives  of  a  sister  Alpha  of  the  $  B  K,  provided  that 
it  be  founded  upon  and  faithfully  adhere  to,  the  great  and  funda- 
mental principles  of  said  society. 

And  that  the  said  Alpha  of  Ohio  may  be  the  more  effectually 
guarded  against  any  and  every  departure  from  the  fundamental 
principles  of  the  <I)  B  K  society,  the  following  brief  statement  of 
those  principles  is  here  subjoined: 

I.  No  undergraduate  shall  be  admitted  into  the  society  until 
they  shall  have  attained  the  rank  of  Junior  Sophisters,  and  so  long 
as  they  remain  undergraduates  no  more  than  one-thirdf  part  of 
any  college  class,  and  only  those  the  most  distinguished  for 
genius,  character  and  good  scholarship,  shall  be  admitted  into  the 
society. 

t  See  Laws,  Arts.  9  and  14,  pp.   30,   31. 


22  PHI  BETA  KAPPA 

II.  All  elections  of  new  members  shall  be  by  scrutiny  of  silent 
ballots  and  that  a  single  negative  vote,  if  not  withdrawn,  shall  pre- 
vent election. 

III.  The  members  of  each  and  all  branches  of  the  society  con- 
stitute one  literary  fraternity,  and  all  are  pledged  to  treat  each 
other  with  kindness  and  courtesy  and  to  be  faithful  to  the  interests 
of  the  society. 

IV.  The  branch  of  the  society  first  established  in  any  state  is 
to  be  called  the  Alpha  of  that  state,  and  it  has  power,  with  the  con- 
sent of  the  other  Alphas,  to  establish  other  branches  of  the  society 
within  the  bounds  of  said  state,  to  be  called  the  Beta,  Gamma, 
Delta,  etc.,  of  the  same  state.'* 

V.  Each  branch  of  the  society  is  to  have  the  same  devices  on 
its  medal,*  the  same  badge  of  membership,  the  same  tokens  of 
recognition, 2  etc. 

VI.  Each  branch  of  the  society,  while  bound  by  these  prin- 
ciples, has  full  power  to  frame  its  own  constitution  and  by-laws 
for  the  regulation  of  its  meetings,  its  exercises,  its  forms  of  elec- 
tion and  initiation,  its  choice  of  officers,  its  financial  concerns  and 
all  its  internal  affairs,  according  to  its  own  pleasure. 

In  the  name  and  by  the  authority  of  the  Connecticut  Alpha  of 
the  ^  B  K,  we  hereunto  affix  our  names,  at  New  Haven,  this 
nineteenth  day  of  October,  Anno  Domini  one  thousand  eight 
hundred  and  forty-seven. 

James  Murdock, 
Dennison  Olmsted, 
Thomas  A.  Thacher. 

The  above  diploma  is  in  strict  accordance  with  the  votes 
passed  by  the  Connecticut  Alpha  of  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  Society. 

Attest:  Edward  Strong,  Cor.  Secretary."

MEMORANDA 


1.  Phi  Beta  Kappa  is  named  after  the  initial  letters  of  its 
Greek  motto,  ^tXoo-o<^ta  Blov  Kv/SepvyrTj^^  "Philosophy  (or  the  love 
of  knowledge)  the  Guide  of  Life." 

2.  The  fraternity  was  first  organized  as  a  secret  body,  but 
during  the  anti-Masonic  agitation  of  the  last  century  secrecy  and 
secret  symbols  were  abandoned.  It  was  the  first  "Greek  Letter 
Fraternity"  and  its  early  history  shows  that  it  played  an  important 
role  in  the  social,  as  well  as  the  intellectual,  life  of  its  members. 

3.  The  badge  of  the  fraternity  is  a  rectangular  medal  adapted 
by  the  addition  of  a  stem  to  the  purpose  of  a  watch  key.  It  bears  on 
one  side  the  letters  $  B  K  and  a  hand  pointing  from  the  lower  right 
hand  corner  to  a  group  of  stars  in  the  upper  left-hand  corner.  In 
the  original  medal  of  the  parent  chapter,  the  Alpha  of  Virginia,  at 
William  and  Mary  College,  these  stars  numbered  three.  During 
the  early  period  of  the  society's  history  the  addition  of  a  new  chap- 
ter seems  to  have  added  a  new  star;  the  earliest  keys  at  Bowdoin 
have  five  stars;  Bowdoin  was  the  sixth  chapter  organized,  but  the 
parent  chapter  had  disbanded  in  1781.  The  older  keys  of  the  West- 
em  Reserve  Chapter,  the  Alpha  of  Ohio,  show  seven  stars;  for 
while  the  Alpha  of  Ohio  was  the  tenth  chapter  organized,  it  was  the 
seventh  Alpha.  In  1897  this  chapter  adopted  the  following  resolu- 
tion: "That  the  number  of  stars  on  the  key,  the  badge  of  the 
society,  be  seven  for  this  chapter,  to  express  the  fact  that  this 
Alpha  is  the  seventh  in  order  of  establishment,  counting  from  the 
parent  society."  The  original  significance  of  the  stars  has  become 
a  matter  of  dispute  and  uncertainty.  The  United  Chapters  have 
officially  declared  three  stars  to  be  the  standard  in  this  regard. 

On  the  opposite  side  of  the  key  appear  the  letters  S.  P. 
Careful  examination  of  the  records  of  the  parent  chapter,  supported 


ALPHA  OF  OHIO  33 

by  tradition,  point  toward  the  probability  that  these  letters  are 
abbreviations  of  the  Latin  "Societas  Philosophiae." 

4.  By  virtue  of  the  authority  delegated  to  it  in  its  charter,  the 
chapter  established  a  Beta  at  Kenyon  in  1858  and  a  Gamma  at 
Marietta  in  1860.  In  1883  the  fraternity  was  reorganized  and  a 
closer  association  of  existing  chapters  was  formed,  called  the  United 
Chapters  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  which  is  governed  by  a  National 
Council  of  delegates  from  the  chapters  and  by  a  Senate  of  twenty 
members  chosen  by  the  Council.  A  meeting  of  the  Council  is  held 
every  three  years,  the  last  one  having  taken  place  in  1916.  Power 
to  grant  new  charters  is  now  vested  in  the  Council,  which  has  estab- 
lished in  Ohio  chapters  at  the  University  of  Cincinnati,  Ohio  State 
University,  Oberlin  College,  Ohio  Wesleyan  University,  Denison 
University,  and  at  Miami.  The  Alpha  of  Ohio  became  a  member 
of  the  United  Chapters  in  1894.  The  United  Chapters  publish  a 
quarterly  journal,  the  "Phi  Beta  Kappa  Key,"  which  is  devoted  to  a 
study  of  the  history  and  policies  of  the  fraternity,  as  well  as  to  the 
reporting  of  its  current  activities. 

5.  Phi  Beta  Kappa  since  1875  has  been  open  to  women  as 
well  as  to  men.  In  co-educational  institutions  men  and  women 
students  are  eligible  on  the  same  basis  of  scholarship;  a  number 
of  the  leading  colleges  exclusively  for  women  have  chapters;  and 
in  several  cases  (e.  g.,  Columbia  and  Western  Reserve)  where  a 
university  has  an  academic  undergraduate  college  for  women  as 
well  as  one  for  men,  a  separate  section  has  been  created  for  the 
woman's  college.  The  Alpha,  during  the  brief  period  of  co-educa- 
tion that  followed  the  removal  of  Western  Reserve  College  from 
Hudson  to  Cleveland,  elected  a  number  of  women  to  membership. 
The  account  of  the  founding,  organization  and  present  activities  of 
the  College  for  Women  Section  of  the  Alpha  of  Ohio  will  be  found 
on  pp.  42-45. 

6.  For  some  time  the  annual  meeting  of  the  chapter  has  been 
held  on  the  afternoon  of  Commencement  day  and  has  been  the  only 
meeting  of  the  year. 


34  PHI  BETA  KAPPA 

7.  Election  of  all  officers,  and  elections  and  initiations  of  new 
members  now  take  place  at  the  annual  meeting.  As  officers  the 
chapter  now  elects  a  President,  Vice-President,  and  Secretary- 
Treasurer.  To  the  last  named  are  assigned  the  duties  of  Corres- 
ponding Secretary,  Register,  Treasurer,  Assistant  Treasurer  and 
Recording  Secretary.*  Nominations  for  these  offices  are  made  by 
a  nomination  committee  appointed  from  among  the  members 
present  at  the  annual  meeting  by  the  presiding  officer  of  that  meet- 
ing.** Newly  elected  members  are  introduced  to  the  chapter  at  its 
annual  meeting  by  some  member  delegated  for  that  duty  by  the 
presiding  officer. 

8.  In  1848  the  chapter  voted  that  its  members  should  wear 
badges  of  green  ribbon  on  the  occasion  of  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  ora- 
tion, which  was  then  an  annual  Commencement  event.  Such  a 
badge  is  therefore  a  distinctive  token  of  membership  in  the  Alpha 
of  Ohio. 

9.  In  the  spring  of  1909  the  Alpha  organized  the  $  B  K 
Association  of  Cleveland.  This  organization  met  on  March  twentieth 
at  a  banquet  at  which  there  were  present  ninety-four  men  and 
women  representing  twenty- four  different  chapters.  At  this  time 
a  constitution  was  adopted  and  the  organization  made  permanent. 
There  have  been,  however,  no  further  meetings. 

10.  From  time  to  time  open  meetings  of  the  chapter  have 
been  held,  at  which  addresses  and  poems  have  been  delivered. 
In  June  11,  1911,  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  oration  was  delivered  by  the 
Reverend  Rollin  Augustus  Sawyer,  D.  D.,  of  the  class  of  1851,  on 
the  subject,  "The  Scholar's  Quest."  At  the  same  meeting  the 
Reverend  Theodore  Chickering  Williams,  Harvard,  76,  read  a 
poem  entitled  "Phi  Beta  Kappa  Key."  During  Commencement 
week  of  1913  at  a  joint  open  meeting  of  the  Alpha  and  the  College 
for  Women  section  of  the  Alpha,  Hosea  Ballou  Morse,  Harvard, 
75,  spoke  on  the  topic  "The  Repayment  by  the  West  of  its  Debt  to 
the  East."

SECTION 

OF 

THE  ALPHA  OF  OHIO

HISTORY  OF  THE  COLLEGE  FOR  WOMEN 
SECTION  OF    THE  ALPHA  OF  OHIO 


On  March  5,  1901,  the  faculty  of  the  College  for  Women 
voted  that  an  "application  be  made  for  entrance  into  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  and  that  the  matter  be  entrusted  to  Miss  Palmie."  In 
October,  1903,  President  Thwing  reported  to  the  faculty  that  five 
chapters  had  approved  the  application.  Thus  endorsed,  the  applica- 
tion for  a  chapter  was  presented  to  the  Senate  of  the  United  Chap- 
ters of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  by  a  comrtiittee  of  the  faculty  consisting 
of  Professors  Emma  M.  Perkins,  Robert  W.  Deering  and  Doctor 
AUyn  A.  Young. 

To  this  application  the  Senate  replied  as  follows:  "On 
account  of  the  close  connection  of  this  College  and  Adelbert  Col- 
lege of  the  University,  it  is  deemed  inadvisable  to  consider  the  ap- 
plication, since  the  council,  by  denying  a  chapter  to  Barnard  Col- 
lege, has  practically  established  the  rule  that  two  charters  should 
not  be  granted  to  closely  affiliated  institutions."  At  the  same 
time  the  Senate  authorized  the  Alpha  to  extend  to  the  College  for 
Women  the  right  to  membership  granted  in  its  own  charter.  This 
decision  placed  the  responsibility  for  the  foundation  of  the  chapter 
upon  the  Alpha  of  Ohio.  The  latter  had  been,  in  1903,  one  of  the 
chapters  to  endorse  the  College  for  Women  application;  and  in  1904 
it  appointed  the  standing  committee  on  new  charters,  Professor 
C.  J.  Smith,  70,  the  Rev.  Dr.  J.  D.  Williamson,  70,  and  Harry  A. 
Haring,  *98,  as  a  special  committee  with  power  to  outline  a  plan,  in 
conjunction  with  the  faculty  of  the  College  for  Women,  providing 
for  all  details  of  organization  and  for  the  election  of  alumnae 
members.  In  1905,  the  Secretary  of  the  Alpha,  Professor  C.  P. 
Bill,  '94,  was  added  to  this  committee.    On  May  10,  1906,  after  con- 


COLLEGE  FOR  WOMEN  SECTION  43 

siderable  preliminary  work,  a  joint  meeting  was  held  with  the  Col- 
lege for  Women  faculty  committee.  Professor  Hippolyte  Gruener 
of  the  College  for  Women  faculty,  a  member  of  the  Alpha  of 
Connecticut,  was  invited  to  join  in  the  deliberations. 

The  committee  of  the  Alpha  presented  to  the  joint  committee 
a  draft  of  the  regulations  to  govern  the  proposed  extension  of  mem- 
bership, as  follows: 

"The  Alpha  of  Ohio,  which  is  now  the  chapter  of  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  in  Adelbert  College,  extends  its  privileges  to  the  College 
for  Women  of  Western  Reserve  University  under  the  following 
provisions : 

1.  There  shall  be  a  section  of  the  Alpha  consisting  of  mem- 
bers elected  from  the  students  and  alumnae  of  the  College  for 
Women. 

2.  This  section  shall  have  separate  meetings  and  shall  trans- 
act the  business  properly  belonging  to  it  as  a  subordinate  section, 
including  the  election  and  initiation  of  members.  But  in  all  these 
things  it  shall  adopt  as  its  rule  of  procedure  the  constitution  and 
laws  of  the  Alpha.* 

3.  The  records  of  the  secretary  of  the  section  shall  be  sub- 
mitted annually  to  the  Alpha  for  review  and  approval. 

4.  The  income  derived  from  initiation  fees  shall  be  paid 
annually  to  the  Secretary-Treasurer  of  the  Alpha." 

These  provisions  were  unanimously  adopted,  and  it  was  voted 
that  they  be  signed  by  all  members  of  the  joint  committee. 

It  was  unanimously  voted  to  adopt  the  following  rule  in  elect- 
ing former  graduates  of  the  College  for  Women  to  membership  in 
the  College  for  Women  section : 

"The  classes,  up  to  the  present  Senior  class  shall  be  grouped 
together  and  one-fourth  of  this  whole  number  shall  be  taken  as  a 
maximum.  Those  graduates  shall  be  elected  whose  work  reaches 
an  average  of  grade  E  in  one-fourth  of  their  cpurses,  irrespective 

*See  pp.  24-31.

of  the  nature  of  any  particular  mark,  provided  the  number  thus 
elected  be  not  more  than  one  fourth  of  the  whole  body  of  gradu- 
ates*." 

On  June  6,  a  second  meeting  of  the  joint  committee  was  held, 
at  which  it  was  unanimously  voted  to  elect  to  membership  in  the 
Alpha  those  members  of  the  Senior  class  of  that  year  who  had 
taken  at  least  three-fourths  of  their  college  course  at  the  College 
for  Women,  and  who  had  attained  an  average  grade  of  E  in  at  least 
one-fourth  of  their  courses,  provided  that  the  total  number  elected 
should  not  exceed  one-fourth  of  the  class.  This  is  the  rule  under 
which  members  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  were  elected  until  1917. 

In  that  year  this  section  adopted  the  following  rule  governing 
eligibility : 

"Candidates  for  a  B.  A.  degree  must  have  fifteen  E's  above  an 
average  of  G  and  must  be  in  the  first  fifth  of  the  class,  counting  all 
who  are  eligible  to  consideration.  This  number  fifteen  is  based  on 
the  curriculum  of  forty  semester  courses. 

Students  are  not  eligible  unless  the  course  was  completed 
within  four  years  of  residence  and  in  case  of  extenuating  circum- 
stances the  matter  will  be  reported  to  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  execu- 
tive committee**  for  decision. 

Candidates  for  the  B.  S.  degree  are  eligible,  beginning  with, 
the  1917  graduates.    They  must  attain  a  grade  of  E  over  an  average 
of  G,  in  36.3  per  cent  of  their  academic  work,  and  further  be 
included  in  the  first  fifth  of  the  whole  class,  all  the  courses  of  their 
curriculum  being  taken  into  consideration. 

The  absolute  requirement  shall  be  36.3  per  cent  of  thirty 
courses  (academic),  that  is,  eleven  E's,  and  no  student  shall  be 

*Seventy-seven  alumnae  from  the  classes  of  1892-1905,  inclusive,  were  elected  in 
accordance  with  this  regulation. 

**  At  the  annual  meeting  of  1916  the  section  voted  the  appointment  by  the  officers 
of  an  executive  committee,  the  individual  members  of  which  should  each  serve  three 
years,  the  term  of  one  member  expiring  each  year.  The  aim  of  this  arrangement 
was  to  introduce  into  the  management  of  the  chapter's  affairs  a  stability  not 
afforded  by  the  system  of  rotation  in  the  offices  of  president,  vice-president  and 
secretary-treasurer.

elected  with  a  lesser  number,  no  matter  what  proportion  it  shall 
represent.  In  case  the  academic  courses  fall  below  the  limit 
twenty-eight,  a  student  shall  no  longer  be  eligible." 

The  meetings  of  the  College  for  Women  section  have  been 
held,  from  the  beginning  of  the  Chapter  in  1906,  on  the  Saturday 
afternoon  preceding  Commencement.  There  have  usually  been,  in 
addition  to  the  regular  business  of  the  meetings,  addresses  by 
members  of  the  faculty  and  others;  in  the  most  recent  years  a 
banquet  has  been  a  part  of  the  annual  gathering  of  the  chapter. 
Following  is  a  list  of  addresses  delivered  before  the  session : 

1907  President  Charles  F.  Thwing:    "What  Needs  in  Life  Should 

the  College  Fill?" 

1908  Professor  Emma  M.  Perkins:  "The  Outlook  of  the  Scholar." 

1909  Professor  S.  B.  Platner:   "The  Vagaries  of  a  Conservative." 
Miss  M.  W.  Wildman,  poem :  "The  Love  of  Wisdom  for  Our 

Guide  in  Life." 

1910  Professor  H.  N.  Fowler:  "The  College  Training  of  Women." 

1912  Miss  Florence  E.  Allen:   "Immigration." 

1913  Rosea  Ballou  Morse:    "The  Repayment  by  the  West  of  its 

Debt  to  the  East." 

1914  Professor  Emma  M.   Perkins:    "The  Worth  of  Phi   Beta 

Kappa." 

1915  Professor  Henry  E.  Bourne:   "The  Balance  Sheet  of  a  Cen- 

tury's Wars." 

1916  Professor  Lynn  Thorndike :   "Measuring  Euripides." 

1917  Professor  Elbert  J.  Benton.     "Fitting  the.  Monroe  Doctrine 

to  World  Politics." 

The  College  of  Women  section  has  revived  an  ancient  and  now 
disused  custom  of  the  Alpha,  which  is  that  it  requires  dues  from 
its  members.  The  income  from  this  source  has  been  used  in  the 
past  to  publish  the  annual  addresses  delivered  before  the  section.
